Creatine Whey Glutamine Powder
1 kilogram (2.2 lbs)

Long used by athletes to improve strength and exercise performance, creatine is being recognized as more than a muscle-building supplement. Creatine is present in the body. Skeletal muscle, heart, brain, and other tissues metabolize creatine and use it as a major energy storage form. Creatine boosts levels of ATP in the mitochondria, the cell’s energy powerhouses.

While studies have shown that creatine may indeed help build muscle and strength in explosive short duration activities, other research has demonstrated the supplement’s role in enhancing healthy muscle mass in aging humans.

Whey protein isolate can build lean muscle and prevent protein breakdown. It has also been shown to enhance the production of glutathione, the body’s natural antioxidant. Glutathione detoxifies harmful compounds in the body and boosts cellular immune function. In immune-compromised individuals, whey protein has been shown to enhance glutathione levels, thereby helping to maintain immune function.

Glutamine is a nonessential amino acid that generates energy and helps to increase strength, quicker recovery, and exercise endurance. Blood ammonia concentration increases during endurance exercise and has been proposed as a cause for both peripheral and central fatigue. In recent trials, glutamine supplementation reduced the accumulation of blood ammonia during prolonged, strenuous exercise in high-level athletes. As an immune booster, glutamine supplementation may prevent the negative effects of strenuous exercise on the immune function. Moreover, glutamine supplementation has a protective effect in the DNA fragmentation, mitochondrial membrane depolarization and apoptosis, and in regulation of the inflammatory process and immune suppression, which are induced by a single session of exercise. Glutamine also plays an important role in maintaining functional integrity of the gut. As a guttrophic factor, glutamine improves intestinal function, allowing better absorption of nutrients.

Life Extension’s Creatine Whey Glutamine Powder contains micronized creatine for optimal assimilation. The whey has gone through a cross flow microfiltration process, which allows the product to retain its important subfractions in natural proportions.

A significant number of studies underscore the health benefits of supplementing with creatine, a nitrogenous organic acid (amino acid derivative) that is synthesized by the body, mainly in the liver. In fact, recent clinical trials demonstrated creatine as having positive effects on strength and body composition and improving muscular performance in older adults, especially when combined with a resistance training exercise protocol. Fourteen weeks of resistance exercise training resulted in significant increases in all measurements of strength and functional tasks and muscle fiber area for both creatine and placebo groups.

However, the group getting the creatine resulted in significantly greater increases in fat-free mass, greater increase in isometric knee extension, greater gains in isometric dorsiflexion strength, as well as a significant increase in intramuscular creatine levels.

The addition of creatine supplementation to an active lifestyle can provide added benefit to the health of the brain. One study found that creatine was very effective at reducing damage to brain tissue after injury. The researchers found that administration of creatine ameliorated the extent of cortical damage by as much as 36% in mice and 50% in rats. Protection seems to be related to creatine-induced maintenance of mitochondrial bioenergetics.

Interestingly, creatine may have the ability to modulate inflammation, at least after exercise. One study found that “creatine supplementation reduced cell damage and eased inflammation after an exhaustive race.

Creatine is a non-protein amino acid derivative found in human tissue that is synthesized from the amino acids L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine. Synthesized creatine is metabolized into phosphocreatine, an important storage form used by the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle.  In normal healthy individuals, muscle creatine is replenished at a rate of approximately two grams a day. Oral ingestion of creatine has been shown to suppress the body’s natural production, an effect that has been shown to be reversed upon ceasing supplementation.

Creatine exerts various effects upon entering the muscle. It is these effects that elicit improvements in exercise performance and may be responsible for the improvements of muscle function and energy metabolism seen under certain conditions. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the increased exercise performance seen after creatine intake.

Optimizing energy metabolism by maintaining higher levels of the body’s energy compound adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

Increasing myofibrillar mRNA content and protein synthesis and reducing amino acid oxidation and protein breakdown.

Increasing satellite cell and myonuclei number and activity in human skeletal muscle.

Preventing tissue damage by stabilizing cellular membranes and maintaining reserves of ATP.

Creatine monohydrate has become popular with athletes, but it may also be beneficial for people who are nutritionally deficient, have conditions associated with low cellular energy, muscle weakness and those concerned with the muscular integrity of their heart.
